fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
Best known for his war images, Robert Capa (born Endre Friedmann), like most photojournalists, photographed a wide range of subjects for the weekly picture magazines. At this equestrian competition, Capa turned his camera away from the competitors to capture a spectator who, with his monocle and urbane overcoat, becomes a satirical comment on the upper crust nature of the event. The back of this print bears the stamp of a New York photo agency, one of a number of businesses that served as middle men between photographers and the picture magazines and newspapers.
